A project that I worked on for Grateful Dead's residency at the Sphere. I helped build many asset importers for C4D.

A project that I worked on for Sphere that combined my love for Math, Art and Programming.

My first big game where I learned the fundamentals of game development and discovered my undying love for game development. Destined to Die.

Early screenshot of a multiplayer game I'm working on, porting the grass renderer into Unity and adding lights and shadows.

Hello, I'm Matthew Sun!

I have been making games for the past 6 years, specializing in Technical Art and Graphics Programming. Shipped 3 games to 60,000+ players, with 3 more coming soon.

I was previously an intern with the Las Vegas Sphere where I procedurally create art and help support other artists by making tools.

I studied Mathematics and Computer Science at UCLA.

My main skill set is building custom tools and pipelines to build a smooth creative medium allowing artists to focus on their craft rather than the technical details. Outside of this I also love building custom shaders and solutions for computer graphics.

My hobbies outside of my work are spread pretty thin, but they include:

• Japanese printmaking (my retirement hobby)

• Brewing (lagers)

• Dendrology (tree classification)

• Jewelry making (specializing in silver)

• Running (4:58 mile at my peak)

I'm a game dev, not a web dev.
